Last year, HFTP's certification programs were named a requirement for information technology and accounting employees at Rosewood Hotel Group, Two Roads Hospitality and Accorhotels Group – which operate Fairmont branded hotels. Accorhotels Group followed suit with Rosewood and Two Roads Hospitality by not only having their employees become a member of HFTP, but also requiring their group to become CHAE certified. In 2016, Rosewood Hotel Group set the requirement for its information technology staff to become CHTP certified – this was the first group certification HFTP coordinated.

HFTP offers the only designations for finance and technology professionals who are working in the hospitality industry. Both the CHAE and CHTP designations require professionals to sit for an initial competency exam, and complete continuing education credits for each renewal cycle. Qualification for the exams is based on level of education and experience in the hospitality industry; student programs are also available.

For more information about HFTP's certification programs, contact HFTP Certification Manager Robin Bogdon at [email protected] or visit www.hftp.org. For immediate information, visit the FAQ pages for both CHTP and CHAE certifications.
